Civet or more this is old and most of all its horrible horrible napsylate of course well be following along to see what comes of that investigation thank you so much for bringing us the latest. Social media platforms are preparing for the 2020 u. S. President ial election facebook has unveiled a Pilot Program to monitor hate speech and says it will ban ads that discourage people from voting but there are concerns about the Company Controlling just what people can see as artist and explains. Yes the world is a scary place lots of different views and opinions out there but dont worry Silicon Valley is going to keep our mind safe from being contaminated by bad ideas they know whats best for you and me facebook has come out with its 1st major announcement of 2019 and as part of its ongoing civil rights audit its going to have a team of hate speech reviewers civil Rights Groups have been concerned about us mistakenly taking down compton meant to draw attention to and fight discrimination rather than promoted were taking steps to address this including a u. S. Pilot program where some of the people who review content on facebook only focus on hate speech instead of a range of content that can include bullying nudity and misrepresentation and its not just those hateful nasty comments theyre going to protect us from in addition as we have the 2020 us president ial election and the upcoming federal us census approaching they will protect us from inappropriate comments about them so you think the vote is rigged against say Bernie Sanders like it wasnt 2016 well Facebook Says you best keep that analysis to yourself to protect elections we have a team across product Engineering Data science policy legal and operations dedicated full time to these efforts theyre already working to burn ads that discourage people from voting and we expect a phone line as the new policy and its enforcement before the 20000000 teen gubernatorial elections and its not just facebook thats concerned about what we might choose to read other high tech overlords are in on it too even donald trump has noticed he says thats an attempt to insert bias and hurt him in the upcoming election twitter is it is just terrible what they do you saw what happened yesterday with Google Google is totally biased to trying to rig the election thats what we should be looking at now which and the phony which and which is proven and your oh and trump does have a point if you. Look at twitters new rules they say that they will now be hiding tweets from World Leaders and politicians that have been left online despite violating the rules due to the Public Interest now these tweets will only be available in rare cases there are certain cases where it may be in the publics interest to have access to certain tweets even if they would otherwise be in violation of our rules on the rare occasions when this happens well place a notice a screen you have to click or tap through before you see the tweet to provide additional context and clarity well also take steps to make sure the tweet is not algorithmically elevated on our service now of course twitter did not mention any particular president but mainstream us media has read between the lines and they are overjoyed. To see lays the groundwork to finally some for trump but will executives that ever pull the trigger on twitter wont sense a trump through breaking tweets but who will make them harder to find is this the fix to one of twitters most delicate problems trump tweets have gotten so bad that twitter to my stunt giving the morning labels so in the lead up to a us president ial election weve got gigantic tech monopolies basically announcing that they will be deciding for us what we are and are not allowed to hear and read and why well theyve got to protect us from election meddling after all and make sure we choose to vote in the right way caleb mopp and r. T. New york for a Library Action we go to here cohen a social media lawyer and author of the book the net is closing of the police now can facebooks task force against 2020 a lecture medaling really be objective. Of facebook. It can hardly be expected to be objective i think i think you know you know if you think twitter for example but similarly apply to dissemble applies to facebook they only have a handful of moderators of content moderators and really instead of those moderators engaging in protecting a real users of the service from our roster and from abuse from the whole horrible things that were seeing on the platform they going to start raping politicians for being all being politically correct i think its ridiculous. That twitter says they will hide what it calls harmful tweets by politicians are they sort of trying to play both sides thereby leaving it up but also covering it up you know i think i think this is highly our again. By the social media side who wants to decide what wards are were not going to be shown to the voting public remember you know the the morning thing is that this rule is only going to be applied to politicians now would not be better to let the public decide who do you wish to vote for why do we need a set of self appointed. Norm the elected a bunch of people from. 2 to decide what politicians can or cannot say i think it would be a much much better idea to make the public decide whether they like or dislike what the politician is saying so do you think that these social media giants are actually leaving room for themselves to possibly in the future ban political views that they dont necessarily agree with. Risk and they are already doing this because what what preterists a now is we are going to effectively put a mark on certain politicians we are going to decide what is acceptable what is not acceptable. Were going to start running the limitations words of think the old idea that some social Media Companies are going to make the decision for us the public what we would is acceptable socially acceptable but its not usually acceptable is very dangerous social media laurie or cohen thank you for your time and your comments today. Marketeer i mean peers have shown their disdain for the e. U. At the opening session of the new European Parliament by turning their backs during the playing of the box anthem they have an ode to joy. Ready plenty going on in stroudsburg in the parliament also plenty going on with the European Council over in brussels will start at the parliament where this be worked inside and out outside of the paul that there is a demonstration taking place at the back the capital on independence leader callus beautiful wasnt allowed to take his seat as an m. E. P. In the chamber well inside well we saw that demonstration from the breaks party led by nigel farage the 29 me peace turning their backs on ode to joy the official anthem of the European Union we also saw a demonstration by pro e. U. British any pieces well those from the liberal Democratic Party they wearing t. Shirts that said no to break sit on the back of parchment didnt use those words exactly used words i would get in trouble for if i use them here on at what we are seeing is a situation though in europe where these m. E. P. Many of whom are starting for the 1st time that theyre expecting to be able to vote on whos going to get the the big jobs in europe the Commission President the Council President the fall of entry president high representative put forward if it is the only thing is if the European Council who are currently meeting over in brussels they havent decided whos going to be up for voting for in the Parliament Just yet. The german chancellor she arrived for more talks on tuesday said that they needed to have more energy to more have more impetus and to be willing to find a compromise if the beginning to get to work at least need to teach and i believe it as one has to understand if they have to mention it to us that he usually does have he can find a solution. Had originally by. Verba she then seemed to change her backing towards the dutchman friend timmons however mr timmins does not sit well with those in central and Eastern Europe a group led by poland the Czech Republic slovakia and hungry all say no to mr simmons we want a Commission President who doesnt have a negative views about a region mr to months is not acceptable to us end of story we have a completely different view on migration hes always backed migrant quotas and this is a problem of course we could be set for a late night at the European Council meeting because the wealthy options they have is they either find a solution or they have to call another summit arties peter are reporting their independent journalist lucrative it told us confrontation looms if parts of the e. U. Keeping ignored. Of course merkel in my craw why the summit last week the g 20 had decided between themselves that they had found the solution it was transparent amongst the socialist guy he would be nominated full stop and then they realized they could find enough people to agree to the 65 percent form of their representation in europe in parliament that is needed to designate somebody with smart enough in the present situation we have so many people against the present European Commission the present European Union as it functions the kettle to have somebody ask him amounts. Really aggressive to a point that its incredible to the people in the central youre going to call all the people who are on the right of the political spectrum in italy in france in belgium in germany holland and all those months is not acceptable so if him and months is designated then it would be all out war in parliament and the commission versus many of the states of Central Europe it. Has lashed out at iran after it exceeded the amount of low enriched uranium its allowed to stockpile and that the 2015 nuclear deal monitored updated as i have been informed iran has crossed the 300 kilogram limit but based on his plan earlier we had announced our plan to exceed the limits therefore based on our previous announcement we made it clear what we were going to do we see it as a right based on the g. O. P. Way. They know what theyre doing and they know what theyre playing with i think theyre playing with fire the trumpet ministration has vowed to apply maximum pressure on iran over its Nuclear Ambitions its also suggested that iran was already producing high amounts of enrich uranium before the deal was signed. The Iranian Foreign minister responded with a simple tweet the one word question seriously he also said the latest enrichment was justified by the fact that america pulled out of the deal the un new Nuclear Watchdog has since confirmed that iran has breached its limit under the agreement its the latest twist in the rounds long running difficulties with the west irans done with dialogue at least it seems when it comes to washington. The useless sanctions imposed by the desperate u. S. Government on irans Supreme Leader and foreign minister has the effect of blocking the path to diplomacy for years iran has attempted to rebuild relations with the u. S. Without any tangible results in 1988 u. S. Military shot down a rainy and passenger plane that killed 290 civilians including 66 children and the incident was considered an accident the pentagon never apologized. I believe that given the operating environment captain rogers acted reasonably and did what his nation expected of him this regrettable accident and it was an accident was a byproduct of the iran iraq war im saddened all american and if past president s are anything to go by to rand shouldnt hold its breath ill never apologize for the United States of america ever i dont care what the facts are still ready to reconcile iran helped organize the release of u. S. Hostages in lebanon but this goodwill gesture wasnt reciprocated by 995 even harsher u. S. Sanctions were being lined up for iran i am formally announcing my intention to cut off all trade and investment with iran the 2nd round of reproach men came shortly after 911 i was. Born. And. As a human as a muslim and as an iranian before you too once again express my deepest sympathies we define. And beat all the Great American people across candlelight vigils were held to mourn the victims but the diplomatic progress didnt last long 4 months later came president bushs axis of evil speech which included iran this is a real. That has something to hide from the civilized world. States like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil. Finally in 2015 iran signed a deal with the International Community including the us agreeing not to pursue Nuclear WeaponsUnited States together were International Partners has achieved something the decades of animosity has not a comprehensive long term deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon it was celebrated shortly dubbed a bad deal by donald trump he walked away without any confirmation turned around was in violation so perhaps its no great surprise iran is tired of talking. The United States does not seem to be very much willing to talk to tehran otherwise they would have kept the nuclear deal and built up on that at least they could have given to try but theyve not done that they have ruined the former deal and this shows their be reimposed sanctions to the harshest level possible this shows that they are after iran so run that if the United States removes the sanctions gets back to the nuclear deal to show that it shows the respect towards the action the case could be different until then there couldnt be any kind of talks with the u. S. No matter who is in office. Saying with iran the country will keep its exemption from opec rules cutting crude production minister made that announcement after talks with the group the Oil Producing organization agreed to extend Production Cuts for other Member States for another 9 months lets go live now to International Oil economist and professor of Energy Economics at your Business School in london for more on this now whats your reaction to the Production Cut extension. It was in a society because without it the price of oil will keep opening around 60. 00 to 65. 00 a barrel at the time when opec members need. To balance their budgets they are of different in this way from russia which can live with an oil price of 40. 00 opec mumba his lead double that price to balance their budgets so i think its a good step and i might add that old bull the. Fundamentals of the Global Oil Market are still robust as evidenced by the fact that the demand for oil increased by 1400000 barrels a day from 1927220000 in there out of a dark clouds hovering above the Global Oil Market in terms of the trade war between china and the United States this has been depressing the Global Demand for oil and oil prices thats why the stench of the Production Cut is and the sensitivity to ensure that Oil Prices Start to rise again bought a peculiarly if there is a breakthrough in the trade war between china and in that state and how long do you think that this Oil Price Rise will last in the wake of this announcement putting those prices where you said certain countries need it to be. Well as i said the prices are projected guys and but how much we come up there until we have a clear indication that the americans and the chinese are heading you know out of a some sort of settlement of their trade war if there is an early settlement of the trade war it during the 2nd half of this year i would project that oil prices could rise between 70. 00 to 80. 00 a barrel which is good enough for opaque and for the global economy. Now iran reportedly had reservations about the deal do you think that theyll be happy with this exemption. Iran that is not included its exempt from the Production Company agreement however iran was anxious by the fact that it played no role in this agree about it and in fact it was russia leading leave. Open Oil Producers and saudi arabia the leader of who would Reach Agreement outside opec before they come to the meeting so it felt as if it has been isolated and its a very old step to isolate iran since if is if our own being member of opec and that this is it is the 3rd biggest producer of oil in rb after iraq and saudi arabia i think you russians are aware of that and thats why they have been calming iran to accept the extension and iran accepted it all go its for adoption or love to be affected since it is exempt from the production. Production got agreement mom International Oil economist thank you for joining us on the program today thank you. The British Home Office has sparked outrage after insisting that Nigerian Women traffic to the u. K. To work as prostitutes and enjoy a wealthy life when they return to africa in the wake of the scandal the home office says it will now rewrite the advice how to open ski has more. Its been described as at crisis level the number of Nigerian Women trafficked into prostitution across europe thousands of women and girls every year forced into the sex trade often in a bid to pay off the debt that they think could in paying transported to the continent according to the when these women are sexually exploited theyre raped. They are subject to all forms of Human Rights Violations including torture rape extortion forced labor sexual and labor exploitation amounting to trafficking and contemporary forms of slavery if they were turned home there is also the risk of violent proprieties the un has described that we have been a taishan in full social inclusion of trafficked persons back in nigeria as being particularly challenging however the u. K. Government appears to be painting a very different picture one thats crazy trafficked women who return from europe wealthy from prostitution enjoy high social economic status and in general are not subject to negative social attitudes on return theyre often held in high regard because they have improved income prospects this is part of an official policy and information gets used by the home Office Decision makers who handle any protection and human rights claims that includes trafficked women who may be seeking asylum thats sparked outrage the issues are faced by the thousands of people who are trafficked from my injury to the u. K. If one of destitution im a they are bought by traffickers do you have a copy of their free will and imply that on the return back home theyll be welcome back with open arms and community here from the hard working people it is difficult to return back there are cultural stigmas of the few people. Im under itself because of the society in which religion plays a big part of it and put aside by your family or even just the vision the Community Also shot in them so these are negative aspects of africa fighting i mean which the home office doesnt seem to fully understand there is also a huge issue for those who do return to nigeria and getting access to the support that they desperately need percent of people who are trafficked to europe from nigeria with it and 50 to 500 of them actually face such of the confession of fault from their p. T. S. D. Or Mental Health issues over time but found me the local authority from the government itself and did not have the required for the teachers to teach help ingrained issues within the population to have these issues its not the 1st time the home office has found itself questions sized over the way that it deals with victims of trafficking lawyers have accused of showing disregard for this safety after it emerged victims were being released from immigration detention back to the addresses where they were enslaved in 2018 it also emerged that under the hostile environment policy victims of modern slavery and Human Trafficking had been jailed in breach of legislation while others had been deported in a statement the Home Office Said victims of modern slavery shouldnt be prosecuted for criminal fast as they were forced to commit as a result of exploitation just months after backing a campaign urging Nigerian Women and girls to find jobs at home instead of risking a life of modern slavery in the u. K. Some might argue that this latest advice that prostitution can essentially equal wealth could actually encourage more women and girls from nigeria to try their own luck and risk their own lives.
